Tallahassee's top entrepreneurs took center stage Friday night at the 2012 Dandi Awards, which honored five local business owners for their accomplishments and community service.

Sponsored by the local business organization E2E Connect, the Dandi Awards were presented during an event at Goodwood Museum & Gardens. They are named for the pervasive, persistent dandelion and honor not only the achievements of dedicated small business owners, but their impact on Tallahassee through community service and civic involvement.
